The next generation

I've known Nate since we were both tiny Catholic school squirts. We grew up together. He was my "illegitimate brother" on annual school trips to Cedar Point. Then, Nate and Mike got to be good friends in high school, both serious computer club geeks. And, a few years ago, Mike and I were overjoyed when Jackie joined our little club. As we watched Nate and Jackie dance at their wedding, we thought it was amazing how they just complete each other. They are so good together....supportive and natural...they bring out the best in each other. Over the holiday, Mike and I had the pleasure of meeting Nate and Jackie's new son for the first time. What. A. Trip. Dominic is amazing...so cute and alert. He maintained his holiday cheer, even when I couldn't resist getting in his face with my camera to snap a few pictures. (Do you blame me?! Check out those cheeks, oh my gosh!). It's a true blessing to witness one of our oldest friend's happy ending. We're so glad we got to catch up, Nate and Jackie! Let's be sure to do it again soon.
